Inflation. A buzz word across local, state, and federal governments. 17th Congressional District Candidate Judge Joe McGraw shares his views on the concern:
“We don’t have a lack of revenue in our country, we just overspend, and our government continues to overspend, spend money it doesn’t have, which it has to borrow, pay interest on, and that takes revenue away from other things that the government is obligated to do. First thing we have to do is stop spending money we don’t have because when we put more dollars into the system, too many dollars chasing too few goods and services, that causes inflation. First thing we can do is get to a zero-based budgeting system where we say, ‘what did we take in last year,’ ‘what do we need to spend the money on this year,’ rather than the reverse of ‘what do we want to spend the money on this year’ then look at the revenue side as an afterthought.”
Joe McGraw will appear on the upcoming General Election November ballot, challenging incumbent Eric Sorensen.
